B. Joint Priming: Prime joint substrates where indicated or where recommended by joint

sealant manufacturer based on preconstruction joint sealant substrate tests or prior experience. Apply primer to comply with joint sealant manufacturer’s recommendations. Confine primers to areas of joint sealant bond; do not allow spillage or migration onto adjoining surfaces.

C. Masking Tape: Use masking tape where required to prevent contact of sealant with

adjoining surfaces that otherwise would be permanently stained or damaged by such contact or by cleaning methods required to remove sealant smears. Remove tape immediately after tooling without disturbing joint seal.

3.03 INSTALLATION OF JOINT SEALANTS

A. General: Comply with joint sealant manufacturer’s printed installation instructions applicable to products and applications indicated, except where more stringent requirements apply.

penetrate sound rated construction.

D. Installation of Sealant Joint Backings: Install sealant joint backings to comply with the following requirements: 1. Install joint fillers of type indicated to provide support of sealants during application

and at position required to produce the cross-sectional shapes and depths of installed sealants relative to joint widths that allow optimum sealant movement capability. a. Do not leave gaps between ends of joint fillers. b. Do not stretch, twist, puncture or tear joint fillers. c. Remove absorbent joint fillers that have become wet prior to sealant application

Install sealants at the same time sealant backings are installed.

F. Tooling of Nonsag Sealants: Immediately after sealant application and prior to time

skinning or curing begins, tool sealants to form smooth, uniform beads of configuration indicated, to eliminate air pockets and to ensure contact and adhesion of sealant with sides of joint. Remove excess sealants from surfaces adjacent to joint. Do not use tooling agents that discolor sealants or adjacent surfaces or are not approved by sealant manufacturer. 1. Provide concave joint configuration per Figure 5A in ASTM C1193, unless otherwise

indicated.

For applications at low ambient temperatures where expansion of sealant requires acceleration to produce seal, apply heat to sealant in conformance with sealant manufacturer’s recommendations.

3.04 CLEANING

A. Clean off excess sealants or sealant smears adjacent to joints as work progresses by methods and with cleaning materials approved by manufacturers of joint sealants and of products in which joints occur.

3.05 PROTECTION

A. Protect joint sealants during and after curing period from contact with contaminating substances or from damage resulting from construction operations or other causes so that they are without deterioration or damage at time of Substantial Completion.

Remove these items, if necessary, to completely coat the items and adjacent surfaces. Following the coating operations in each space or area, have removed items reinstalled by workers skilled in the trades involved.

B. Cleaning: Before applying coatings or other surface treatments, clean the substrates of

substances that could impair bond of the various coatings. Remove dirt, oil, grease and other contaminants prior to cleaning. Schedule cleaning and coating application so dust and other contaminates from the cleaning process will not fall on wet, newly coated surfaces.

C. Surface Preparation: Clean and prepare surfaces to be coated according to the

manufacturer’s instructions for each particular substrate condition and as specified. 1. Provide barrier coats over incompatible primers, or remove and reprime. Notify the

manufacturer. b. Determine alkalinity and moisture content of surfaces to be coated by

performing appropriate tests. If surfaces are sufficiently alkaline to cause the finish coats to blister and burn, correct this condition before application. Do not apply coatings over surfaces where the moisture content exceeds that permitted in the manufacturer’s printed directions.

3. Ferrous Metal: Remove oil, grease, dirt, loose mill scale and other foreign substances. Use solvent or mechanical cleaning methods that comply with the recommendations of SSPC.

complying with specified requirements. 3.04 CLEANING

A. Cleanup: After completing work, clean glass and spattered surfaces. Remove spattered coatings by washing, scraping, or other methods. Remove spill and oversprays immediately from horizontal surfaces as they will become extremely slippery. Do not scratch or damage adjacent finished surfaces.

B. Graffiti Cleanup: Apply cleaner in accordance with manufacturer’s written instructions.

3.05 PROTECTION

A. Protect work of other trades, whether being coated or not, against damage from coating operation. Avoid wind drift to adjacent surfaces.
